Assembling the model
•Carefully unpack the odel, the s all parts and the
boatstand.
•To re ove the superstructure grasp it carefully by
the ar oured bridge and the rear section (under the
14 c gun), and lift it up vertically.
•The outer otors should be wired in parallel, and
connected together to rotate in opposite directions.
Wire the inner otors in the sa e anner. Each
pair of otors is then soldered to a G2 connector,
referring to the wiring diagra on page 13 (+ is red,
- is black). Check the direction of rotation of the
otors when the batteries are connected: all the
propellers ust rotate in such a way that the odel
would be propelled forward. NOTE: the raised lug
on the plastic housing of all G2 connectors should
always be the positive ter inal (red wire). If you
keep consistently to this principle, your batteries and
speed controllers will be interchangeable, and the
syste will be protected against accidental reversed
polarity. For soldering the connectors we
reco end that you follow one of the tips outlined
below, which will ake the task easier. The
procedure described will also help to avoid
da aging detail fittings on the odel with the hot
soldering iron. TIP 1: re ove the otors: undo the
grubscrews in the propellers so that the propellers
can be withdrawn. Now undo the otor retaining
screws (don’t re ove the co pletely) and slide
the otors forward until the shaft couplings are
exposed. Undo the grubscrews in the couplings
which cla p the otor shafts, then re ove the
otors fro the odel. The otors and propellers
can be re-installed si ply by reversing the whole
procedure. TIP 2: if you have a friend to help you,
ask hi or her to support the boat at an angle so
that you can hold the otor wires outside the hull for
soldering; any excess solder will then fall away fro
the odel. TIP 3: a “third hand” is a useful cla ping
tool which you can use to hold the wires for
soldering directly inside the odel.
•Check that the screws in the shaft couplings, the
otor retaining bars and the propellers are really
tight, as they ay have worked loose in transit. You
can check this by pulling on the propellers; if you
find you can ove the shafts to the rear, then one of
the grubscrews is loose. Tighten the offending ite
carefully, using TIP 1 as described above in order to
gain access to the . IMPORTANT: if the
grubscrews are loose, apply a drop of thread-lock
fluid to the , e.g. UHU schraubensicher (Order No.
952), as vibration could cause the to work loose
again while the boat is running.
•Open up the outer ost hole in the double-ended
servo output lever using a 2 Ø bit, so that the
rudder pushrod fits in it. Press the rubber gro ets
(supplied with the servo) into the ounting lugs of
the rudder servo, followed by the brass spacer
sleeves, which are fitted into the holes in the
gro ets fro the underside. Place the rudder
servo in the opening in the hull, drill 1.5 Ø pilot-
